Well done that jeep is special.

Thanks Grey! Considering that it was a shortened year for build time for me, I’m good with the numbers. Before 2016 I averaged 8-10 completions a year. I did not finish one build in 2016, although i did have several major projects, two of which are sidelined and still need to be completed, before I lost my modeling moejoe that year and for some time afterwards. Anyways from 2017 on I have been slowly working my way up to those numbers again. 2021 will see me meet them!

Lol! Thanks TB. And no, you don’t have to choose.

Do I have to choose ? Cause I ain't gonna! I like them all!

Thank you Justin. Boy that A-7 sure does seem to be making some new fans here. Not bad for a “crappy old unbuildable” Mongram kit.

Goreous builds, but as stated by others before me, THAT A-7........

Thank you Castel.

The weathering was extremely simple to do. Pin washes in all the recessed details, and pencil on all the raised detail, which was the vast majority on this older kit. I draw on the panel lines with a very sharp pencil, then smudge the lines back in the direction of airflow and/or gravity with a cotton ball. If I apply too much, I clean the area with a damp cloth piece of rag, then repeat the process. 

Stick, I am totaly inspired to build that Corsair. Any tips re weathering? Those panel lines look great, the whole thing...I would be super happy to get even close to something like yours.

Thanks

Thank you Chad. This year WILL be more productive for both of us!

Six beautiful models there Stik. I'm pretty sure that's a few more than I made! 

Paul, Steve, Joe, Castel, and Lew, thank you one and all for commenting so kindly on my 2020 builds. Nothing means more to me in this hobby than such comments from fellow modelers such as you guys. All of you do great work yourselves, so this is very fine company to be a part of.

Well done Stik!  Now I need to find those A-7 decals in 1/72.

Super work stick, the Corsair looks great, and the Kubel...

All I've gotta say is that you're one helluva model builder Carlos. Exceptional work on all bro. 

Beautiful job Stik. I'm amazed you got that much done with moving and all

Just keeping working it Stik you'll get good at this modeling thing.   I had a sarcastic smiley face here and somehow it disappeared

Awesome builds.  I know with the move it can be tough getting back to a groove.  I'm mostly an aircraft guy so my vote is for the spectacular A7.  2020 was my first full year of modeling and I think I completed 4 or 5.  Still learning what works best for me and I'll use some of these photos for inspiration.

Hope 2021 brings you happiness and more success at the bench

Paul

Thanks guys! I’ll have more flying things next year. I had planned to build a couple more, but then changed my mind... lol! 2019 I shut down my bench early to move. 2020, I lost a few months before I was able to build again. 2021 should be more agreeable for my hobby time.

Nice line up there Carlos.

That is a nice collection.  I don't build much armor (only a couple of WWII-era tanks) but i sure do like looking at it.

I think you did great, especially with the short build year.

They are all cool, and that M46 and the Jeep especially got my attention!

I like all of those, Stikpusher, and I really like the A7, but my favourite has to be that amazing M46!  If I turned out only 3 a year to that standard, I'd be a happy bunny - well done on all of them.

Modest!?! I'll only get seven finished if I hit the deadline with the three I'm trying to finish for GBs tonight. I'd say you had a very productive year! 

And some fantastic work there- they all look great but I love the tiger-face Korean War M46... 

Back then the Navy and Marines had more colorful than the Cammo paint schemes we had in the Air Force with only a few exceptions, the C-5a, C-141a, C-9, AND OV-10a.  The 1976 Bi-Centinniel paint jobs were even better.  I saw a lot of colorful aircraft pass through Little Rock A.F.B.

I would add any of those to my collection. Well done one and all.

BK

Thanks guys! CB, I know what you mean. That was a very attractive scheme and era for markings.

Nice work Stik.   I'm partial to Gull Grey & White 

Great stuff Carlos!
